about
Emptying your head is easier to do in a song.
lyrics
Living in a moment
The one I've been afraid of too long
Then another million moments
I'd never ever dreamed of came along
Here comes Mr Empty Head
Doing cartwheels out of bed
Look in the mirror!
Chasing my reflection
To add to my collection of mistakes
Demands a new direction
Time to check the road map and the brakes
Here comes Mrs Loving Me
Waving from the driver's seat
Isn't she lovely?
Thumbing our noses at the whole charade
Smelling the roses, made in the shade
Living in the moment, forgetting where you've been
Or where you're going to
The bottom of the ladder has a pretty nice view
Of the here and now
Here comes little Empty Head
Putting all our fears to bed
Isn't she funny?
Sticking her tongue out at the whole parade
Making us shout out, "We've got it made!"
Living in the moment, with half a mind
to tell the world to go away
Half a mind is all you seem to need these days
I'm giving up the gloom, busy making room
For the here and now
The one I've been afraid of too long
Then another million moments
I'd never ever dreamed of came along
Here comes Mr Empty Head
Doing cartwheels out of bed
Look in the mirror!
Chasing my reflection
To add to my collection of mistakes
Demands a new direction
Time to check the road map and the brakes
Here comes Mrs Loving Me
Waving from the driver's seat
Isn't she lovely?
Thumbing our noses at the whole charade
Smelling the roses, made in the shade
Living in the moment, forgetting where you've been
Or where you're going to
The bottom of the ladder has a pretty nice view
Of the here and now
Here comes little Empty Head
Putting all our fears to bed
Isn't she funny?
Sticking her tongue out at the whole parade
Making us shout out, "We've got it made!"
Living in the moment, with half a mind
to tell the world to go away
Half a mind is all you seem to need these days
I'm giving up the gloom, busy making room
For the here and now

Steve Robinson recommends:
-
Hypnotic and heartfelt; I find myself frozen and staring off when I listen to it. I'm usually thinking, "This is how it's done". Effortless-sounding in a Weepies/Innocence Mission sort of way.

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 10 fans who also own “Mr. Empty Head”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.
